For the best tracking results your StatCounter code should be on every page of the site.

How you'll want to install the code depends on what type of website you have. Many sites offer a footer area, sidebar or analytics section that displays on each page. We have many installation guides at the URL below. If yours is not listed please try adding the code into the footer of the site. If that does not work please contact support and we will assist you.

Tracking code

The StatCounter tracking code is what's used to collect stats on your visitors. It must be on any page you want tracked. It can run on any site which allows you to use HTML or Javascript code. The tracking code works for HTTP (unsecure) and HTTPS (secure) connections.

The StatCounter code *can not* be used to track emails.

If needed a new copy of your StatCounter code can be obtained at this URL

Summary - The summary chart provides a basic over view of your stats - how many pageloads, unique and returning visitors your site has gotten. The summary covers the entire life of your project and is never erased (unless you reset the stats). What data is displayed can be adjusted with the controls above, below and to the right of the chart.

Hourly - Like the summary chart but displays the stats in hours (not weeks or months). Unlike the summary chart the hourly report is limited to the detailed stats held in your log and only goes back so far.

StatCounter can import these unavailable keywords from Google with these steps :- click on your project name- click Config at the top left- click Sync Google KeywordsThis only has to be done one time, after being setup it will import the data automatically in the future.Once the stats are imported you can see them under the GWT Data report.

Downloading your stats

StatCounter offers the ability to download many of your stats. At the bottom of the reports menu is a link for "Download Logs".For several reports in the upper right corner it says "Log:" and list your log capacity.To the left of that are two small icons. These are links to download the stats for the report you are looking at.The icon on the left with a green X is the Excel spreedsheet, the icon on the right with the red CSV is a plain "comma separated value" spreedsheet file.Under the Summary Chart (bottom left) are links that let you download the info as a spreadsheet or image file.

If you do not have Excel a free alternative called Open Office can be use to open spreadsheet files.Spreedsheets can also be opened online using Google Docs [link]. In Google Spreadsheets you make a new document, then File > Open and select Upload.
